Solonikins, I'm so glad you reposted that! I just sent it to Ammo, who is in his first week at college. I hope he has the volume up really high on his computer when he opens it and that his roommates are right there. Hehehehehe. Of course I got all teary listening to it and thinking about my baby off on the other side of the world, alone, hungry, cold. (OKOK- I admit it- last night when I called he was eating burritos and watching DieHard 2 with his roommate, a cinema major, and the temperature in LA probably wasn't under 70) As we were saying goodbye, I was hugging him and breaking down for the fourth time. All around me moms were sobbing and hugging their babies, while the babies looked stoically into the distance, enduring this final maternal embrace and dreaming of the freedom beckoning, just moments away. A campus cop rode by and called out, "Don;t worry about them; it's just a mom thing. They'll be fine." It took me a minute to realize he was talking to the kids, not us. And I'm sure we WILL be fine. But it will take some time to get used to washing only half a load of laundry, cutting recipes in half, and finding rooms in the same condition I left them.
